My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 406 Hebei, Hebei!I hope

Compared with everyone's attitude, Li Gang was obviously worried at the moment, his head was shaking slightly, and the cold wind was blowing, he subconsciously wrapped his cloak tightly around his body.

Wu Min sighed lightly: "No matter how you say it, the king of Yan is willing to come to the front line with a body of ten thousand gold, and to the people of the world, this is the righteousness!
This is a great favor to the common people of Lishu.And he carried the coffin to the battle this time, which undoubtedly united the hearts of the world, shared the same hatred, and inspired the hearts of the people. "

Zong Ze nodded and echoed, "If it wasn't for this, Wang Sangong and Yinuo are old enough to stay with each other with all their might. In my opinion, today is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more scholars going to Hebei to join the army in the future. , King Yan will gradually win over the hearts of scholars from all over the world."

Zong Ze didn't say some words.

The hearts of the people, the army, and the scholars are all in King Yan. If he changes course in the future, it will be a matter of little effort.

When the banner is held high, people in the world are like moths to the flame, and they will go forward one after another.

Of course, this must be based on outstanding military exploits.

But the problem is, since Wang Lin was able to turn defeat into victory in an extremely unfavorable situation and turn the tide with all his might, and now he is gathering heavy troops to stand in line, even if he can't restore Yanyun's old place, it shouldn't be a problem to hold the Hebei defense line, right?

And once he was allowed to restore Yanyun's hometown, his reputation in Song Dynasty would be unmatched.

Wu Min and Zong Ze glanced at each other, their minds flashed with galloping horses.

It's just that Li Gang has been strangely silent.

Wu Min said lightly: "Brother Bo Ji, why are you so unhappy?"

Zong Ze also said: "Brother Bo Ji, are you worried about the war in Hebei? According to someone, there should be no war in Hebei in the past year and a half. After all, the Jin people are newly defeated, and they are temporarily unable to invade south."

Li Gang sighed: "Yuanzhong, Rulin, the old man is not worried about the war in Hebei, but worried about the cultivation of teachers in Taiyuan!"

Wu Min and Zong Ze's complexions changed, and they immediately came to their senses.

Li Gang said again: "The King of Yan used to kill the Zhongshi, and he had a deep hatred with the Zhongjia. Now, the King of Yan wants to transfer the Zhongshi and lead [-] troops into Hebei, and put the Zhongjia army under the strict supervision of the Eastern Army. , the old man is worried that the Western Army will be chaotic!
In addition, can Liu Yanqing hold back the veterans of the Western Army in Taiyuan?The old man's original intention was to transfer Zhong Shidao back to the capital to become the king, suppress the resentment of the Zhong family with a high salary, let them voluntarily give up their military power, and then let Ru Lin go to the Western Army to replace him, this is the safest way.

However, I didn't expect King Yan to insist on this. He wanted to use the Zhong family army to sit in Hebei and fight to the death with the Jin people.But if Zhong's family rebelled, wouldn't the Hebei defense line just break a hole and let the Jin people take advantage of it? "

Zong Ze said in a deep voice: "Someone had doubts about this matter before, and asked King Yan face to face. Brother Bo Ji, guess what King Yan said?"

Both Li Gang and Wu Min looked at Zong Ze.

Zong Ze said: "The king of Yan said that he believes that Zhong Shi will not abolish state affairs because of personal grievances! He also believes that the Zhong family has protected the environment and the people for generations, is a loyal minister of the country, and will never surrender to the enemy and betray the country.

Therefore, the Western Army may be chaotic, but the chaos will not be unmanageable.As for Zhong Shi Dao, this person has the overall situation in mind, and it is certain that he will temporarily focus on state affairs.As for the children of the Zhong family, it is normal for a few to jump out.But the current general situation is in the king of Yan, and the military power is in the king of Yan. If they don't know the current affairs, they will kill themselves and ruin the reputation of the Zhong family. "

Wu Min also echoed: "Brother Bo Ji, the King of Yan has already made proper arrangements, so we don't need to worry too much. On the contrary, there must be no chaos in the court. Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and the others actually abandoned their officials and fled. They really lost everything." The face of civil servants."

Li Gang sighed: "They are not fleeing, they want to flee to Sichuan and Shu, and persuade the eighth son of the emperor, Zhao Fen, to conspire to seize the throne! They still have the idea of ​​​​separating the southeast half!"

Zong Ze said bitterly: "I don't know the general principles, pedantic people, rebels who disrupt the country! If civil strife breaks out and the Jin people take advantage of the chaos, they will die at that time, and they will not be able to atone for the blame!"

Li Gang was silent for a while, and then said: "In troubled times, you and I need to be more cautious in doing things. If there is chaos in Sichuan and Sichuan, we can only ask Ru Lin to go out in armor and lead an army of [-] martial arts, and then dispatch soldiers and horses in the southeast to wipe out the thieves for the country. gone."

Zong Ze said with emotion: "Why are you afraid of life and death!"

……

Although it was the depths of winter, when Wang Lin's army arrived, the people in Hebei were all welcome and grateful.

Looking at the shocking black lacquered coffin in front of the army formation, the Hebei people were even more moved by the same hatred.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, has anyone in such a position as King Yan willingly risked his life and death to protect ordinary people from the rain of swords, guns and arrows?

not a single one!

During the Jin invasion not long ago, which of the nobles in Hebei did not abandon the city and flee, pushing the people behind as shields?

Contrast before and after, forming a sharp contrast.

Wang Lin's prestige in the hearts of Hebei people thus reached its peak.

As for the army, not to mention the soldiers' loyalty to Wang Lin.

The key is to personally put forward a slogan of "equal officers and soldiers" and follow it seriously. This is more recognized by the soldiers than those who verbally shout that they love soldiers like sons.

During the war, he charged forward and rushed to the front. Instead, he handed over the specific command of troop deployment to his student Yue Fei. With all these things, how could the soldiers not die for Wang Lin?

In fact, Wang Lin felt that he was far inferior to Yue Fei in commanding the army and coordinating the battle.It is best for professional people to do professional things.

In addition to strict military discipline, the key Eastern Army (Fuhu Army, Longxiang Army, Shenwu Army and Auxiliary Army) has a characteristic that is clearly different from the Western Army and the rest of the Song Dynasty.

After the war, the compensation for the dead was high, twice that of the imperial court.

All the rewards and property obtained by the meritorious deeds will be donated voluntarily and used to care for the dead compatriots.

This kind of military style is gradually developed and fixed, forming unspoken rules to gather the morale of the army in the shortest possible time, and there is less and less market for those who are afraid of war.

Also, at least so far in the Eastern Army, the generals under Wang Lin's command have never been greedy for military pay, emptied their pay, or drank the blood of soldiers.

In addition to Han Shizhong and others who were just and loyal by nature, Wang Lin also had an agreement with the generals in private that the Bohai Company would regularly provide subsidies to the family members of generals above the commanding officer level, either in gold or silver or in kind.

Take Yue Fei as an example. His parents and family first lived in Qingzhou, and later moved to Tokyo. They lived in houses, shops in the city, and Zhuangzi outside the city. Enough for the Yue family to live a prosperous life.

When worries about the future are lifted, no one will be greedy for ink anymore.

Even greedy people like Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were restrained greatly.The main reason is that Wang Lin specially gave them a talk on honesty.

Wang Lin's words are very straightforward, defeating the Jinren will bring stability to the world, and he will not be stingy with giving any wealth to the generals, but if he is greedy for the army's salary at this moment and disturbs the morale of the army, they will die, and the whole family will also die.

Wang Lin never relents.

Therefore, the 25 Eastern Army is the real deal.

The Western Army, which is known as 30, has a very heavy share of empty pay, and it is estimated that at least nearly [-] can be cut off.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Western Army may not be the opponent of the Eastern Army.

And given time, one or two years later, the Western Army would not be a threat to Wang Lin.

This is the key factor for him to decisively attack the teacher.

He believes that kind of teacher will not rebel, but...in fact, he is not afraid of him rebelling.

He even had the idea that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and he took the opportunity to solve the problem of the Western Army once and for all.

The prefectures, prefectures and counties in Hebei, which were previously occupied and destroyed by the Jin people, were all repaired and saved under the leadership of the newly appointed civil servants, and some with a long-term vision have already begun to order people to prepare for the planting of the next spring.

And in the past few months, the Fuhu Army stationed in various parts of Hebei, the Longxiang Army dispatched later, the Xiang Army from various places in the southeast, and 25 troops in Hebei have assisted the localities in launching a vigorous production and living movement. The cities and villages have been repaired, and the autumn seeds have been replenished in time, and now they have already obtained a bumper harvest. At least in this winter, the people of Hebei will not go hungry.

Under Yue Fei's resolute implementation, Wang Lin's concept of the military and civilian family being in harmony with the military and civilian fish and water conditions has been promoted throughout Hebei.

In fact, this was originally Yue Fei's philosophy.

The army and the people have committed no crimes, and the people are grateful for the army.

In peacetime, the army and the people help each other, and in wartime, the army and the people support each other. For the generals under the command of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, these concepts are simply wise words, no less than the way of saints.

At the end of the winter month of the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, it was freezing cold in Hebei, and Wang Lin led an army to Linzhang.

According to the original plan, he will stay here for a few days, and he will also wait for Zhu Lian and his family members who came along the waterway, as well as Zhang Kui and other hundreds of scholars, and of course a large number of officials and subordinates from the Grand Marshal's Mansion, etc. Wait.

Revisiting the old place, the army was stationed in a sheltered place outside Linzhang City, while Wang Lin went to the Song Family Manor in the wilderness of Linzhang.

The cold wind was bleak, and the Song family came out in full force. Under the leadership of the head of the family, Song Pengran, they stood anxiously at the gate of the manor and waited. Although they were shivering from the cold, their hearts were filled with excitement.

Especially the parents of the Song family's twin sisters.

Shuangshu is actually the granddaughter of Song Pengran's concubine, the twin daughters of Song Pengran's son Song Niankun's concubine.

But now, Shuangshu is not only favored by the King of Yan, but also canonized by the official family. With such status, they are no longer just concubines or maidservants in the Palace of King Yan. In the future, at least they will be eunuch.

So Song Niankun and his concubine Lin's status in the Song family has increased.

At the end of the road, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and flags were flying.

Song Pengran excitedly said: "King Yan is here, everyone knelt down to greet him!"

……

Accompanied by Song Pengran and Xiangzhou Zhizhou Huang Qishan, Wang Lin entered Song's Manor, and naturally stayed in Tongque Terrace.

This place has been sealed by the Song family, and there are faint signs that it will be used as Wang Lin's palace in the future.

In addition to waiting for Zhu Lian's family members and subordinates, Wang Lin mainly wanted to talk to Huang Qishan, a Hebei official, about the farming and military settlements in the rear.

Although the army's logistics and rations mainly depended on the wealth and rice from the southeast, Wang Lin had long ago decided to farm in Hebei and Henan in order to be prepared. In addition to normal crops, he mainly planted two high-yielding crops, potatoes and corn.

The fertile land in Hebei is fertile, and in another year, the potatoes, corn and normal rice grains in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Qinglai alone will be enough to supply hundreds of thousands of troops.

Based on the principle of not putting one's lifeline in the hands of others, Hebei, Henan and Shandong are the hope of Wang Lin and the hundreds of thousands of troops.
